- Google doc: For ease of drafting and commenting during the early Draft Deliverable stage, the spec is initially starting as this Google doc. <== THIS IS THE CURRENT DRAFT FOR REVIEWS AND CONTRIBUTIONS
- Wiki page: Once the Google doc GitHub Markdown file:Here is the GitHub Markdown version of the spec is reasonably stable, it will likely move here to this page for final review and approval as a Working Group Approved Deliverable. NOTE: This step may be skipped if we decide to move the Google doc draft directly to GitHub.GitHub Markdown file: No later than when we have a call for consensus on a Working Group Approved Deliverable, the spec will be converted into a Markdown document and moved into a ToIP GitHub repo. The full content should be moved here by 11 August 2022.
- GitHub issues list: Here is where you can view current issues and raise new ones. Any ToIP member is welcome.
Contributors
To comply with the intellectual property rights protections in the charter of the ToIP Foundation (as required by all Joint Development Foundation projects hosted the Linux Foundation), all contributors to this Pre-Draft Deliverable MUST be current members of the ToIP Foundation. The following contributors each certify that they meet this requirement:

The purpose of this specification is to define the define the overall architectural requirements for each of the four layers of the ToIP the ToIP stack and how they are abstracted from the layer below. This specification will lay the overarching foundation for four more future ToIP specifications—one for each layer of the stack—that specifications that will specify detailed interoperability requirements for each layermore detailed interoperability requirements such as specific protocols, interfaces, and test cases. This TF will be specifically focused on adapting the original Hyperledger RFC defining the ToIP stack while at the same time reflecting lessons learned from the development of the and following the Design Principles for the ToIP Stack. Note: this specification is intended to serve as a direct a counterpart to the ToIP Governance Architecture Specification deliverable from the GSWG Governance Architecture TF.
Deliverables
The primary deliverable of this Task Force is the the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification—a specification of the overall architectural requirements for each of the four layers of the ToIP the ToIP stack and how they are abstracted from the layer below. It is anticipated that this specification will lay the overarching foundation for four more future ToIP specifications—one for each layer of the stack—that will specify detailed interoperability requirements for each layer.

| Note: this deliverable is initially being drafted using a Google doc to simplify collaboration. Once a full Working Draft is ready, it will be converted into a Markdown document in the ToIP GitHub. |
Motivations
For complete background on the motivations for development of the ToIP stack and why it consists of two halves—the ToIP Technology Stack and ToIP Governance Stack—please see the following documents:
- The original Hyperledger RFC defining the ToIP stack.
- The Introduction to ToIP white paper (original version; draft second-generation version)
- Design Principles for the ToIP Stack (draft version)
PLACEHOLDER for Working Draft Specification
Once the Google doc version of the specification is sufficiently complete, the specification will move here for final review.
